Article Wisconsin PRO Upgrades Software to Stay on Top January 2025, by Mark Billings, Product Manager, Ritam Technologies, LLC After nearly 20 years using Summit Rental System from Ritam Technologies and upgrading to new versions as they came along, Megan Taylor of Cans To Go, LLC (Milwaukee, WI), was considering whether the new version of Summit was worth the investment and if it compared favorably to other software now available. It seemed a “no brainer” to advance within a known product and not rock the boat by switching to something different. But there were pressures and comments from others in the industry to “try this” or “get that.” The choices today are more numerous than even five years ago. Some vendors were immediately excluded due to price, lack of industry experience, or an abrasive corporate culture. New routing options made the decision harder, but ultimately, all roads led back to Ritam Technologies and Summit. With new Smart Mapping technology, Summit allows single-click optimizing plus route assignments directly from map views. Additionally, route progress monitoring and visual route assignment screens improved operations and customer service. Identifying route inefficiencies and resolving them became simple point and click. On top of the fact that Summit provides more flexibility with its familiar and simple, industry-specific billing system. It has automated features that calculate accurate cycle billing to be completed within hours, not days, and an auto-pay option to immediately process customers’ cards for the amounts billed, with receipts emailed. These functions continue to ensure Cans to Go provides top-level customer service with superior office efficiency, steady cash flow, and overall greater profitability.
